    I think having stalls inside the ground on the concourse is a good idea.
    It cuts down on the variables of cost (license) location (you'd need multiple stalls to cover different routes to the ground) and the vagaries of the weather in Northern England in winter.
    Theres a lot of space in the lower tier of the
    main stand concourse that could be put to good use.

    Yes unfortunatly we still have staff at Valley Parade who have the Edin mentality and are reluctant to change, or take others opinions onboard.

    Bloody Edin was still chairman till late January according to official website haha. He definitely confirmed he has left his involvement, but will still be on the message board as a fan

    As for paying staff ?
    Whatever happened to the idea of volunteers ?

    The 'carrot' ? Free admission for the game for said 'vendor' and spouse / kid ? ;)

    (As a kid - when skint ..... I used to sell 'Goalden Goal' tickets. No money paid to me - But I always sold at least 75% and watched the game for 'free' ;) )
    IF already an ST holder, then sod it ..... Chuck in a voucher or two for a burger with Chips, ffs ! :)

    Just to be clear I was referring to @Bigrod@Bigrod suggestion of club stalls at strategic points around the stadium. Whether staffed by paid employees or volunteers would be club call.

    I remember the golden goals tickets. I bought one once and it said April

    Appreciated ......... I was only adding to the issue, in that a wage for staff may not be sought ;)

    The main problem with the concourse only model is that there may not be suitable sites for all locations inside the stadium?

    If you are in the upper tier of the Main/JCT stand then you do not really go onto the lower level. There doesn’t appear to be a universal area on the upper tier.

    The area at the back of the lower Kop is not very large. Not sure what it is like in the Upper Kop?

    I have never been in the NW Corner so l can’t comment on it as a stall location.

    The Midland Road from what I recall had a fairly deep concourse and would be suitable.

    The Bradford End/TL Dallas is fairly small and no real suitable area, although it is usually only away fans in there.

    It is footfall in a prominent location which is essential.

    No obvious reason why they couldn’t sell outside the stadium pre match and move inside at kick off time to catch half time sales.
